Hi,
As you have visited 2 Neurologists, some sort of investigative work-up must have been carried out regarding the issue.
As per my clinical experience, there can be severe lower lumbar or coccygeal nerve compressions, but the concern with the eating of sugary items remain apathetic.
If you can provide all reports herewith, I can still further guide more precisely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel,
